IMPROVED MEDICAL COMPOSITION.

Speoifioation forming part of Letters Patent No. 55,540, dated June 12, 1866.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, P. G. ROSENBLA'IT, of Greenevillc, in the county of Greene and State of Tennessee, have invented a new and IIII- proved Medical Compound; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and

exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to fully understand and make use of the same.

The present invention relates to a new and improved medical compound, especially intended for use in cases of dyspepsia, lung and liver complaints, and every species of indigestion. It is also extremely serviceable, and in most, if not all, cases a never-failing remedy, for intermittent fevers and all kinds of periodical diseases. t is a mild and safe remedy for flux, diarrhea, and dysentery, as well as an invigorator and corroborant for females in delicate health, and a safe and reliable remedy, aud an agreeable and wholesome stimulant.

The several ingredients of which the medical compound embraced in the present invention is composed, as well as the proportions in which they are severally used, are as follows, viz., (apothecaries weight one and one-fourth ounce soootrina; one-half ounce rhubarb, pul- I Verized; two drams gentiana, pulverized; two drams opium, pulverized; two drains zingiber, pulverized; one quart alcohol, together with saffron and sirup in quantities sufficient.

In the use of this compound above described, one wineglassful, with an equal amount of water, should be taken at least three times each day, or more or less, according to the severity of the attack or disease, until the disease is wholly removed or eradicated.

Although I have particularly described the proportions in which the several ingredients are mixed together, they may be varied, and therefore I do not intend to limit myself to the exact proportions named; but practice and experience have proved the above proportions of the several ingredients to be exceedingly effective in the cure of the diseases for which the medical compound is especially intended.

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent The medical compound composed of the ingredients and mixed together in about the proportions herein described.

The above specification of my invention signed by me this 20th day of March, 1866.

P. G. ROSENBLATT.
